The CEO, who learned to read at the age of seven and earned his GED at 21, has just shared the spiritual practice that changed everything in this week’s Get Yourself Optimized episode.

Calvin Bagley's journey from educational isolation to healthcare entrepreneur (serving 60,000+ clients) reveals how becoming "the observer" of your thoughts—rather than fighting them—unlocks both personal transformation and business success. His approach combines practical wisdom from "The Power of Now" with deep spiritual principles, creating a framework that works whether you're overcoming imposter syndrome or scaling a company.

Calvin's memoir "Hiding from the School Bus" chronicles how he transformed childhood trauma into entrepreneurial strength. The lessons apply whether you're healing from your past or building your future. Check out the full conversation now!

The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/530.
